If this were my first time here, I would keep the plan basic with my first few stops centered on the best bank cover, any obvious weeds, and the deepest water I can reach because a few careful stops usually teach you more than a pile of random casts.
Species worth planning around
The fish data for Three Lakes includes Brook Trout, Brown Trout, and Rainbow Trout; which gives me a good reason to start with cooler, deeper water for trout, and leave room to adjust if the first idea is wrong.
A practical first pass
If the goal were simply to get a feel for Three Lakes, I would pick a small part of the lake and try to understand it before worrying about everything else, then I would read the current Wisconsin DNR rules so nothing about the trip is based on an old limit.
